[SQU] multiple spindles

I think i saw somewhere in the docs (but i'm not 100% sure) that it is
better to have several cache_dir's on multiple independent HDDs, than just
one cache_dir on multiple stripped (RAID ...) HDDs. Because in the past, i
really saw corrupted cache partitions, i tend to agree to that.
But there are several people that say that if you're running Squid on Irix
and you use XFS (or some other commercial Unix with a good filesystem),
there's no need to put multiple cache_dir's, so just let's RAID all those
HDDs together under a single cache_dir. They say that XFS is too reliable to
crash.
Now, i really don't think that XFS is so crash-proof, and i believe that
there are some other advantages of using multiple cache_dirs. Can someone
enlighten me on this?

Happy New Year everyone!
